It’s that time of year where our Citywire Miami Retreat rolls around. A firm favourite not only for our delegates but for staff too. Where better to spend time networking than on the Mandarin Oriental’s beachfront!
We’re going to talk you through all of the reasons why you are missing out if you chose not to attend the event.
Football Match
On the Wednesday when you arrive, you have the option to play a football match. This is held on a rooftop pitch which is the perfect backdrop for a fun afternoon before the work starts on Thursday!
Thursdays Dinner on the Beach
You’re greeted with lays placed around your neck when you arrive. You can swap your shoes for flip flops at the Lyxor exchange. Dinner is served on the beach with beautiful views of the city behind. Are you sold yet? This is by far the most memorable part of the event. Despite the fact that it rained this year, no one’s spirits were dampened. Just look at all these smiling faces!
Speaker – Mike Reiss
As always at our events, we aim to bring you the best speakers. This year at Miami, we had Mike Reiss as our after lunch speaker. Known for being a writer and producer for The Simpsons, Mike gave us a very comedic insight to how The Simpsons has maintained its success for the past 30 years. From reasons why they never made it to Japan, to how they predicted the future (and taking the opportunity to slip in that “The Simpsons is inspired of life but that life should never be inspired of The Simpsons”). Mike was an opportunity for everyone to take a break and think outside the box. You scored him a 9.23 so we’re glad you enjoyed him so much!
M&G Podcast
This year one of our sponsors hosted a podcast before the event. They focused on discussing the future of fixed income investing for 2020. This is due to be released in March, so keep an eye out for its release and make sure you give it a listen!
Thank you to everyone who attended this year and of course to our sponsors who without, we wouldn’t be able to do any of this. We look forward to welcoming you all back next year!
